Advanced Arrow
Ammo · ConsumeBullet0★Stronger shafts intended for the Advanced Bow. A Primitive Workbench turns them out.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
It weighs almost nothing and stacks to 9,999, so there is no reason not to carry a full stack.
Advanced Arrow Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 7 materials across 2 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 5× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows. Each craft returns 10, so the real cost per unit is lower than the list suggests.
Where to Find Advanced Arrow
If you would rather just buy it, the seller is Caravan Shop at 1,110 Gold.
It also shows up as world loot — crates on the large oil rig and sea base enemy camp loot in the Sakurajima, usually 100–200 at a time.

Using Advanced Arrow Well
The recipe is a Technology tree entry, not a schematic: level 57 for 1 Technology point. The Advanced Bow sits on that same level for 3 points, so fielding the weapon is a 4-point purchase in one go, and the two entries are separate buys — spend on the bow alone and you own a bow you cannot feed. Until you unlock the ammo the caravan is the only supply line, which makes the arrows a gold cost instead of a workshop cost.
Nothing in the recipe restricts the station. The item text names the Primitive Workbench because that is the lowest bench that accepts the job, not the only one — every crafting station above it, up through the Ancient Workbench, produces the same batch. What does change is time: one batch of 10 is 40,000 work, so this belongs in a production or weapon assembly line with Handiwork Pals parked on it rather than on your own hands while you wait.
Batch math is worth doing before a hunt. Ten arrows come off 2 Plasteel and 5 Carbon Fiber, so a working load of 100 costs 20 Plasteel and 50 Carbon Fiber and weighs 2.5 — light enough that there is no reason to carry a short quiver. Carbon Fiber is the binding material at five per batch, and it is the one worth stockpiling ahead of the level 57 unlock, since Plasteel demand here is trivial next to what your armour and guns already want.
Weapons That Fire Advanced Arrow
5 weapons take Advanced Arrow, which makes it worth stockpiling — one crafting run supplies the whole class.
